Bath repair in Posenhall

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair in Posenhall without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Posenhall

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Advice

Posenhall questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Posenhall included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
